School-Based Education Programs
We meet young people where they are and understand all the challenges they face.
Elementary School
GRADES K-5
In K-5, we rarely talk about alcohol and drugs. Instead, we build life skills, like how to be a good friend, manage uncomfortable feelings, and solve problems peacefully. Our lessons are fun, engaging, and age appropriate.

Middle School
GRADES 6-8
Our lessons are designed to navigate the challenging terrain that middle schoolers face daily. By providing valuable insights and practical tools, we empower them to make informed decisions in the realms of peer influence, goal-setting, and responsible choices.

High School
GRADES 9-12
High school health teachers call on us to deliver scientific, fact-based drug information for their classes. We don’t preach, judge, or exaggerate; instead we equip teenagers with the knowledge so that they can make informed choices.

Professional Development
Our professional development series ensure mental health and substance use professionals are equipped to make a difference.
Youth Leadership Programs
We believe in the power of young people.
Youth leave our programs as Prevention Advocates — using their skills to learn from the past, and the future, make good decisions, and also share this impact with their friends and social circles.
TI
Teen Institute
Since 1980, PreventEd has led Teen Institute (TI). It’s a powerful camp that equips high school students to prevent substance misuse among their peers and communities while also cultivating leadership skills.
“I didn’t know that everyone has risk factors that affect drug use. Now that I do, I’m really trying to incorporate that into my life to keep me on pace and stay away from drugs and drug use.”

“This program was very helpful. My son is taking more accountability and responsibility at home. The program classes, plus the time away from school, has made a difference in his attitude.”

“I think this is a really good way of educating people while also keeping it interesting, so that people are more open to learning because it isn't as boring as some other drug programs."

"It was very informative and I learned more about the brain and how it's affected by substances. I'm definitely going to apply what I've learned in my everyday life."
Adolescent, 17
“This program has been so good for my child. He learned a lot. His focus now will be doing better in school and working to save money. Thank you for all the support at a time that I didn’t know how to deal with this.”
